FIFA Ultimate Team Team of the Week (TOTW) – April 23rd

Each week EA Sports creates a FIFA Ultimate Team Team of the Week (TOTW) based on players in the real world that are in form for that week. Take a look at the team that will be available for one week from 23rd April at 6pm.

Raheem Sterling – There doesn’t seem to be a week lately where we don’t see a Liverpool player in the team and rightfully so. Sterling got LFC off to a flyer against Norwich with an effort from outside the box for his first and finished his day grabbing a lucky deflected second goal in a key moment of the match. Everything seems to be in their favour, could a first Premier League title be on the way?

Lukas Podolski – When Arsenal travelled to Hull City, one of the tightest defences in the league they might have expected a close game. Podolski made it seem easy for his two goals towards the 3-0 victory especially after a well timed run to smash in the first one as it bounced his way. Whilst the tradition “Strikers” aren’t firing, this guy is certainly making a claim for that role by smashing them in from left wing.

Vito Mannone – Mannone is a fortunate soul that his game against Man City and that howler wasn’t taken into account for this week. However he proved that it hasn’t affected the mental aspect of his game when he kept Sunderland in the game against Chelsea a couple of times and most importantly a point blank save from an Ivanovic header. The fact they went on to win the game meant they were a crucial three points earned.

Been gaming casually since the SNES as a youngster but found my true passion for games on the Playstation 1 (the forbidden word ooo). My addiction grew to its pinnacle with the purchase of an Xbox 360 & Xbox Live Service. A recovering GS hunter that will still play literally any game.

About TheXboxHub

Having been Xbox gamers since 2002 when the original big black box hit the UK, taking in all the 360 years and now being overly excited for the One, we could never find a place that would only cover the interesting, exciting stuff from the world of Xbox. Hence, TheXboxHub was born.

Covering only the best in the latest news and reviews for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One, we aim to be a one stop hub for all your Xbox needs, without all the useless guff that you really don’t want to know about.

RichardThanks for the feedback! I am confused also but as Danferb comments the general thought process coming to light now is the missing source code. The one they have for the PC is nothing short of a complete mess by all accounts, so it would be a case of...

DanferbMore than not caring about VIII, they have a serious problem about losing the source code and therefore are unable to port it anywhere without remaking the whole game from scratch (seeing how FFVII Remake is doing, I don't think that's happening...

bthanhawk022Nice article. But I'm still trying to understand what Square has against FFVIII. I see all these remakes and ports but Square won't do anything with VIII. I mean it wasn't the greatest FF but if you're talking the golden era of Final Fantasy FFVIII...
